WHO ARE "THE LEFT BEHIND"? YOU BE THE JUDGE!

6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:

8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

Love is a state of Being. Your love is not outside; it is deep within you. You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you. You can feel the same life deep within every other human and every other creature. You look beyond the veil of form and separation. This is the realization of oneness. This is love. What is God? The Eternal One Life underneath all the forms of life. What is love? To feel the presence of that One Life deep within yourself and within all creatures. To be it. Therefore, all love is the love of God.

Death is a stripping away of all that is not you. The secret of life is to die before you die - and find that there is no death.

There are people born into certain beliefs and practices and had no choice but to follow the influence.You have an opportunity to understand the creator and learn to love him.He will work with you and eventually the love of him will start purging out anything tha is contrary.

huh? we are all left behinds because according to st,Matthews gospel the graves busted open at the moment of the Jesus death and the zombies got up and went into the city and scared the bejesus out of everyone...go back and read Matthews take of what happened the moment after jesus died on the cross ..according to him, we alive today are the leftovers and their has already been a rapture...where did all the zombies go after the went into the city?...and are we descended from the walking dead?

How unfortunate for some rulers when men,women,and children continue to think... Keep repeating the lies loud enough and long enough and just maybe the people will start to believe the lies again and good luck with that...finding your energy open until mars becomes raging aries...

OP could you also give me your input in another popular doctrine that is controversial?

I beleve I have found reasonable doubt through studies and literature if the scripture that there is evidence that the lake of fire is not an eternal punishment but utter destruction after a season.

For instance many proponents of eternal torture use the verse in Revelations that says something to the effect of 'the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever'.

At first glance this does seem to promote eternal torture.But then it was pointed out to me that very similar language was used to describe Edoms complete destruction in the old testament.Obviously Edom has ceased vurning liong ago.Is is possible that this type of language is merely referring to the finallity and power of which Gods final judgement comes down,instead of eternal conscious torture?
